Tiny Tot's Turf Transformed!

I know, I know, this blog post should be pictures of the whole house, but we are just so excited about tiny tot's room that we had to show it to you first :) I will eventually get around to snapping pictures of the rest of it (if I ever get it tidy enough to be picture worthy).

Here is the before picture...

And after...

I pretty much had her room completely designed and everything purchased before we moved in. It helped to know exactly what her room looked like! So under my guidance (and a little of my help) hunky husband got to work and transformed the room into something a princess would love.
Here he has the room primed and ready to go...


The first wall of pink!



We had never hung wallpaper before, so since they claimed they were experts, the 'rents' came over one evening and hung it for us...




It turned out beautifully!




Hunky husband putting together her "big girl bed"...







I love this tiny little bed. We purchased it at Ikea....






and this as well...


















Here are some close-ups of a few other things in the room. These tissue paper flowers were ridiculously easy to make, hung with fishing line, and I love how they turned out...











I purchased wooden letters from Micheals and hunky husband spray painted them for me. I then cut out the letters in fancy textured paper, glue-gunned them to the wood and hung them on the wall...











Her dresser is "recycled" from the old owners and makes a great changing station as well...











And one last little touch...













A few pictures of the room in action! Trying out her new bed...














Playing with her tea set...
















Having a nap! The transition from crib to big-girl bed went so well. By naptime on the day we had her bed set up, she wanted to go "night-night" so I put her in and that was that. She has slept in it ever since. I don't think she knows that she can get out of it (b/c she never does) and we are not telling her either :p


Hope you enjoy the pics! We are working hard now on getting our room finished. The wallpaper is down, paint up, and decorating is happening now!

  3. beautiful job crys! (and hunky husband and rents!) We are wondering what the old owner (without any daughters) thinks of the colour!? and I remember a few other kids who didn't realize they could come out of their beds... (and they weren't mine!)

  9. I've been behind on your blog.. Lyra's room looks incredible!! Love it and can't wait to "see" the rest of the place.
    Nice your your parents to hang the wallpaper. We hung a wall of it in Gavin's room and it was the only time in our marriage that we officially didn't get along! It's actually really hard. :)
